I would be happy if you broke your hand so we wouldnt have to read your bull******************** anymore. If you hate it that much then quit. Stop trying to bring everyone else down with you negativity.

Reality sucks doesn't it? When someone interrupts the force in the bluethisphere everyone gets their panties in a wad. The pilots of jetBlue OUGHT to be pissed off.

New hires don't, nor do the ones dumb enough to apply. Just heard another newhire today say he's "just happy to have a job". Well, I'm happy to have a bowel movement, but I'm not going to brag about it. Is it so bad now that pilots grovel to the level of flight attendant and verbalize this nonsense? How about this, management is lucky to have that guy working here. That's right, they're lucky to find someone dumb enough to verbalize he's ok with medical costing $740 a month, or a bad retirement for what should be a major airline pilot. They're lucky alright, but they know what they're doing, you folks apparently don't.

I am a new hire as of July. So I am pretty new here. Guess what. I knew what all the medical, retirement, and flight benefits were the day I started here. Every guy in my class new exactly what the medical and bennies were also. Everyone knows. I had even read over and understood the entire PEA before I started here. My entire class must have been dumb ones though. Here is the deal though. When you live in the Midwest, have all of your debt paid off, have your financial house in perfect order, no kids, good wife insurance, 16-17 days off a month and 100k+ as an FO doesn't exactly sound to bad. Yes this place needs improvemnets, yes we all want to get better be it here or somewhere else. You constantly bitching makes your points less valid and just annoying.

Wife insurance?? What is it and how do I get some?

Sorry, that wasn't very gramatically correct. I'll explain better this time.

What you do is go out and find a hot girl that makes good money. Start hitting on her and find out if she has good insurance bennies. If she says yes you marry her. Now you have got wife insurance.

Bingo. It's all about living within your means. I'd be willing to bet tard is divorced with a mountain of debt and god knows how much alimony.

If you can't give a great life on 100K plus you are a blight on humanity.

I'm in the same boat. No debt, no car payments, mortgage on a 15 year note that will be paid off by the time I am 43. It's not that hard. Just don't knock up flight attendants, buy $hit that you can't pay for, and live with what you've got, not with what you hope you'll have in 10 years.

Great work, you've diminished the pilot profession to just happy to be employed. Maybe you could get a law degree or medical degree and chop that profession down to size. You folks are pathetic.

I diminish the profession?

I've got news for you, YOU diminish the profession.

It is jackasses like you that are primarily responsible for the general public believing that we are all worthless, lazy, flight attendent screwing, 6 day a month working, vacation home owning, porsche driving, adulterous divorcees that always only want more.

You perpetuate the stereotype and make it more difficult for those of us that are rational in our thoughts and actions to actually IMPROVE things.

Just go kill yourself. You are a waste of skin.

I am officially finished wasting my time with you.

Garunteed. Hey Tard do your self a favor. Go read "The total money makover" by Dave Ramsey. You will be a lot happier in a couple years.

So it's official? Thanks for that. As far as improving things, what exactly are you improving? The company just said no more money budgeted to fix anything. The exact quote was in reference to money, "none whatsoever". So please, you professing to be the expert on all things aviation and jetBlue, tell us how anything gets fixed without monetary increases and PCASM increased? The only way is out of hide, a zero cost solution, the same solutions management has been using since RTP began.

In case you missed it, RTP ended in November 2009 when Mark Powers, EVP and Treasurer announced to the world jetBlue was free cash flow, meaning, it could grow operations from revenue without borrowing for growth.

In essence, you and your NO voters gave the company a two year pass in August and they just told you to go fvck yourselves. Shouldn't you be directing fire in their direction?

Apparently you don't know how to read.

I've already stated that I would vote yes to a union, and that I was unable to vote in the last election as I was not eligible.

You also seem to have no understanding of supply and demand economics.

Pay and benefits will go up when the company has no choice but to raise them, due to not being able to fill seats. As long as there are 10,000 applications on file, they pay what the market dictates.

Try reading a book sometime.

Now I feel like a jackass for actually responding to you again.

New hire is it? Ok, that explains your anger. I'd be upset too if I knew a management team willingly lied to me and now I was in servitude to them forever.

Don't hold your breath on the pilot shortage thing, jetBlue's been hiring foreigners for 12 years now, there seems to be an inexhaustible supply of them out there.

When were you hired at
JetBlue? Answer that then look in the mirror for whose holding the profession back.

That doesn't even make sense? Why would I tell you a hire date? Are you a sandmanoval ferret? Out to destroy dissent are we?

To answer your question, this failed management team is leading the race to the bottom, not the captive pilots, with a pilot CASM 35% below peer. If you try justifying it, you are part of the problem.

Your management team is a failure.

Someone needs to shut this dude up or block him. This dude does not deserve to be flying at all.
